NAME
catdvi - convert C/A/T files to DVI format
SYNOPSIS
catdvi [ options ] [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
catdvi converts file, which should be in C/A/T format (i.e. troff output), to DVI format for printing on an Imprint-10 printer. If no file name is given, the standard input is used. The options are:
- -cn
- Prints n copies.
- -b
- The next argument is printed on the banner page to identify this listing.
- -i
- The next argument is the name of the output file.
- -v
- Produces more verbose output.
- -d
- Produces extensive output for debugging.
- -C
- The next argument is the name of a character mapping table. It will be assumed to be in a standard directory unless it begins with /. If not given, ``catab'' is used.
If the -i flag is not used, the output is written to a temporary file and, upon completion of processing, the input (C/A/T) file is unlinked and dviimp is called to process the output of catdvi. The -v and -d flags will be passed on to dviimp if specified.
Since the -b and -c flags are merely passed to dviimp, they have no effect if -i is used.

BUGS
Not all symbols are handled properly.
Boxes generated by tbl sometimes are drawn over several pages, the text being filled in separately. This is impossible to do on a page printer without extensive sorting, which is not done.
Many minor problems occur because of the difference in resolution between the C/A/T phototypesetter and the IMPRINT-10.
